Hmmm I guess that 280hp 3.6l VR6 will be the one powering the new R36...

nope. the R36 is going to have a 2.0L turbo I-4 base and the optional engine will be a 3.2L V6, I think it has 240 horsepower

All the engines are transversely mounted for a FWD base set up. Where are you getting your info that it's RWD?

I drove a diesel model that priced at about $50k (according to the info in the car, might have not been US dollars) and I wasn't impressed. The steering wheel feels like it's free-spinning and not connected to anything. There's no steering feel whatsoever. Not to mention, for that price it had cloth seats, no sunroof, no navigation, and a ~140hp diesel manual.

EDIT: I clicked the link you provided and it's FWD. http://www.vw.ca/vwca/models/features/specifications/0,2405,50,00.html
